At the high school level, at least in my experience, having too fine a filter on traveling will make you "that guy" (the traveling guy) really quickly.
That said, I don't have the view of the official on the court -- from there, I may have clearly seen a travel and called it. I can only go with the look I'm given, which is the video.

I am not trying to be funny by saying this, but isn't this play being shown from a regular run of the mill high school game? So whether we like it, every game is on video and someone is going to nitpick these games and calls we make or do not make. Maybe we do not have 10 angles to show this play, but we still have those that will nitpick any play they deem important. And yes, coaches do nitpick every possession, especially when they think that call cost them something or and opportunity. It might have even been a possession that changed the momentum in their mind.
I get not wanting to be "That guy" but those days of hiding are over. Everyone has a camera.
Peace
